Abstract: Systems, methods and apparatus are provided for an array of vertically stacked memory cells. The vertically stacked memory cells have horizontally oriented access devices having a first source/drain region, a channel region, and a second source drain and horizontally oriented storage nodes that are vertically separated from the access devices. Vertically oriented gates are separated from the respective channel regions by gate dielectrics, and horizontally oriented digit lines are coupled to respective first source/drain regions. The horizontally oriented storage nodes each have a first electrode coupled to the second source/drain regions of the access devices and each first electrode opposes two different sides of the horizontal access devices including an electrical contact with a vertical side of the second source/drain regions.

Abstract: Some embodiments include an integrated assembly having a first semiconductor material between two regions of a second semiconductor material. The second semiconductor material is a different composition than the first semiconductor material. Hydrogen is diffused within the first and second semiconductor materials. The conductivity of the second semiconductor material increases in response to the hydrogen diffused therein to thereby create a structure having the second semiconductor material as source/drain regions, and having the first semiconductor material as a channel region between the source/drain regions. A transistor gate is adjacent the channel region and is configured to induce an electric field within the channel region. Some embodiments include methods of forming integrated assemblies.

Abstract: An array of vertical transistors comprises spaced pillars of individual vertical transistors that individually comprise an upper source/drain region, a lower source/drain region, and a channel region vertically there-between. The upper source/drain region comprises a conductor oxide material in individual of the pillars. The channel region comprises an oxide semiconductor material in the individual pillars. The lower source/drain region comprises a first conductive oxide material in the individual pillars atop and directly against a second conductive oxide material in the individual pillars. Horizontally-elongated and spaced conductor lines individually interconnect a respective multiple of the vertical transistors in a column direction. The conductor lines individually comprise the second conductive oxide material atop and directly against metal material. The first conductive oxide material, the second conductive oxide material, and the metal material comprise different compositions relative one another. The second conductive oxide material of the conductor lines is below and directly against the second conductive oxide material of the lower source/drain region of the individual pillars of the respective multiple vertical transistors. Horizontally-elongated and spaced conductive gate lines are individually operatively aside the oxide semiconductor material of the channel region of the individual pillars and individually interconnect a respective plurality of the vertical transistors in a row direction. A conductive structure is laterally-between and spaced from immediately-adjacent of the spaced conductor lines in the row direction. The conductive structures individually comprise a top surface that is higher than a top surface of the metal material of the conductor lines. Other embodiments, including method, are disclosed.

Abstract: Systems, methods and apparatus are provided for an array of vertically stacked memory cells having horizontally oriented access devices having a first source/drain region and a second source drain region separated by a channel region, and gates opposing the channel region, vertically oriented access lines coupled to the gates and separated from a channel region by a gate dielectric. The memory cells have horizontally oriented storage nodes coupled to the second source/drain region and horizontally oriented digit lines coupled to the first source/drain regions. In one example, an insulator material is formed on a surface of the first source/drain region and a conductor material formed on the insulator material to form a metal insulator semiconductor (MIS) interface between the horizontally oriented digit lines and the first source/drain regions of the horizontally oriented access devices.
